Easter 2011!

warning, lots of pictures! Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter yesterday! we sure had a fun easter season! i'll explain in pictures! (might be a little random!)

Adyson and I went to the craft store Porters and she was able to make this cute bunny! she loves it!

we got these pretty flowers from spencers parents! they came in a way cute bunny vase. thanks!

couple of days before we dyed eggs. it was an egg speckle kit and our fingers were totally black and stained for a couple days! it was fun though. adyson made the black egg, and of course had black hands to match

of course we did the traditional pillsbury holiday sugar cookies and a little bit earlier we made the rice crispy treat eggs filled with candy for the family before we headed back to moses lake for spring break

and now actual easter! ^i found these pj's for adyson for $3 at walmart and they were perfect for easter! (shes giving herself bunny ears) I gave them to her for Easter Eve.

(spencers, adyson from my mom, adyson from us, mine and spencers from my mom.) spencer and i also got a few new shirts for ourselves! and i bought a receiving blanket that i have had my eye on at gymboree for the new baby. it was on sale $8 reg $20! i can sleep at night now knowing i have it! lol

easter morning! we were spoiled! thanks mom for all the goodies!

later in the morning we had adyson hunt for eggs! she wanted to do it in her easter dress!

and heres a pic of dinner. doesnt do it justice. it was our first time making a big holiday dinner and i think it went pretty well. we had ham, very colorful deviled eggs (used the dyed ones), hawaiian rolls (store bought, heck i cant make that stuff), cottage cheese salad YUM!, and funeral potatoes. Spencer made a impromptu banana cream pie. we didnt have gram crackers so he used teddy grams. it turned out way good!

And then we took some easter pics to round out the day!

Adyson loves her little sister and loves to kiss and hug and feel her move around. Cant believe that this the 2nd to last holiday with just the 3 of us! soon it will be 4! crazy! only about.....3ish weeks left! crazy!

spring break 2011!

so this past week Spencer had spring break and we were able to go home to visit family. i didn't think we would be able to do it, with me being 8 months along, but the doctor said it was ok, if we stopped every 2-3 hours for me to walk around and stuff.

We actually stayed in Missoula both there and back to make the trip a little easier for me and Adyson. The hotel had a pool and spencer "taught" adyson how to swim. now she talks about it all the time and that she can swim and that she wants to get into the fish tank we have and swim with the fish!

so i really didnt take any pictures when we were there, we did take family pics with my family, but they arent ready yet so sorry no pics of that! anyway, the only ones i got were of adyson playing with her cousins. she was SO excited to see family but most of all to see kamaile. they are only about 2 months apart and are pretty much best friends and played together the whole time.

cousins!!!

we really didnt do a whole lot while we were there, just relaxed and had a great time with family. we played games (a new favorite of mine, bohnanza a fun bean game), took family pics, i went to a baby shower, spencer went golfing with my fam and lunch with his dad, adyson was sick for a day and we did nothing!, went to dinner with jill, helped a little bit at a charity garage sale....not too much! oh and saw the easter bunny at adysons favorite store, walmart, but she was NOT happy to see the bunny so i had to get in the pic too!! all in all it was a fun, lazy trip. thanks to our family for all the easter gifts and wish the break could have been during easter!

First hair cut!

It finally happened (ok so I finally let it happen!). Adyson got her first hair cut (more like trim lol) today. she did SOOO well and it really looks cute. Spencer has been wanting to do it for a long time, but i just refuse to let it happen. I will admit she did need it to be one lengh, it was a looking a little mullet ish in the back! She was just growing up too fast for me i just couldnt do it until now!

AFTER

and a random cute picture! its april already and we are excited for easter! even though its at the end of the month this year (random!)

baby (and adyson) update!

well its getting closer! i just had a doctors appointment yesterday and everything is going great (it was an awesome visit, i saw a different doc and i'm totally sticking with him!). i'm right on track! 31 weeks down 9 to go!!! i'm down to the every 2 weeks visit. this little girl is moving around a TON, pretty much non stop!! Its not really kicking just moving around. some times it feels like shes trying to bust out! the doctors are still going with the 18th of may, but i really dont have any hopes that its then. just whenever! thats about it! havent really had any pregnancy weight gain, maybe 5 lbs max! (thank goodness!) and they are totally fine with that. its really nice because after i have the baby (which with everything placenta, baby, fluid is like 25 lbs) i will weigh less then before i was prego! woo hoo, who can argue with that!

Well readers....remember when i mentioned adysons favorite toy that she HAS to have with her pretty much all the time...well here he is!

This is Grandpa Bear. He used to belong to my dad, but adyson found him and stole it! Hence the name grandpa bear! He has to go almost everywhere with adyson. If she miss placed him in the house, she will walk around calling his name. When we go shopping he has to come in the store with us. she REFUSES to sit in the front of the cart, but she will buckle grandpa bear in the front so hes safe. When she goes to bed she has to have him. One night after she had fallen asleep, i went to take the other stuffed animals off the bed and when i tried to take grandpa bear she (in her sleep) reached out and took him back. Today we were going to get in the car to go pick up spencer and she was looking off at some people visiting the neighbors, she slipped off the curb and fell in a puddle, and gpa bear was in her hand that fell in the water. she didnt get hurt just a little dirty, but she was more concerned about her bear then herself. i had to clean him off with a wipe while we waited for spencer and dried him infront of he heater. She loves this bear A LOT!

Happy Birthday Spencer!

Today was Spencer's birthday! We didnt do a whole lot, but had a lot of fun anyway. This weekend we plan to do a little more to celebrate. Maybe a movie and bowling. Spencer had class until 2 today so we just planned on going out to dinner instead of lunch and had left over tacos, which were way good! For dinner Spencer asked to go to famous daves (thanks for coming tristan!). YUM! that place has some good food! We then came home and had one of spencers few favorite cakes (hes not a fan of cake, but he does like some good kinds!) RED VELVET from walmart. yum! i got mini cupcakes too for me and adyson. the cake was small so its all spencers!

lol. Adyson was so excited for daddy's birthday. shes been practicing singing happy birthday to him for about a week and showing him how to blow out the candles.

PS... thank you everyone for the birthday wishes and the gifts! he loves it all!

Happy Birthday Spencer! Hope you had a great day and enjoy all your gifts! And eat the cake so i dont! lol! We love you!

Valentines Day: Part 2 Dinner/Dance

Well on friday spencer and i had our own valentines day. Spencer heard about a Valentines Couples Dance the school was putting on called a Night in Paris and ask if i wanted to go. of course! it sounded like fun! They offered dinner before hand which was kinda good. Chicken Kiev, roasted potatoes, steamed veggies, really good rolls and apple walnut salad with poppy seed dressing. It was really good! So about the dinning arrangements... Well spencer and i both thought it was going to be like a couples kind of thing, ya know your own table and all. Well it wasn't. we were sitting right next to people we didnt know and one poor couple were on a first date kinda thing. It was funny to see how they interacted. After dinner the dance started. It was a semi formal/formal dance and it was fun to see all the couples come in prom attire. Most of the couples were not married and it was kind of fun to see them all. it reminded me of when spencer and i were dating and fell in love: ) It was really fun to dance with spencer, i've never really been to a dance with him! We really didnt dance too much, because my feet and hip were hurting really bad (i felt like a gma, lol) I had so much fun, even though it was kinda unplanned on the schools part. The dance kinda had the stake dance feel to it, but oh well, i had so much fun. It was kinda corny, but a good kind. I would totally do it again! It was one of the best (pre)valentines day i've had! Thanks spencer! I loved it!

ps....happy valentines day tomorrow! dont worry vday #3 post is next! lol. i just love this holiday!
